A more legitimate use of a six-string bass guitar by a suburban dad you will NEVER find.

David the singer from Newcastle sings songs from the charts accompanied by Alan on drum

this is 'Always On My Mind' and it's really something

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UshOr7i8KXk

David and Alan have been uploading their Jandek-esque atonal interpretations of classic pop covers at the rate of one or two a week for several years, most have viewing figures in the low tens or less: http://www.youtube.com/user/allycomber/videos

one thing I especially like is that they don't let you know what song they're tackling today in the upload title, it's a total lucky dip

Even more frightening than this are the teenagers who translate their blog entries into 5-6 minute videos where they just talk in front of their webcam. Channel 101 better watch their back.

This girl is incredible

fluid af! and it's impressive that she's gotten to 125k without any clickbaity "playing the Seinfeld theme for 24 hours **gone horribly wrong**" style content. maybe she'll be the one who finally breaks Davie504's chokehold on basstube

Great cover of Sebadoh's 'not too amused' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=accm-ezhlzM

"i don't know how to play any other sawngs guys. it's late at night."

I posted this in a Cocteau Twins thread years ago, but I keep going back to this acoustic guitar (w/gobs of reverb) cover of "Serpentskirt"

No offense to the band (they record) but it has an amateur feel and it's awesome.

More amateur:
